I've been using my Prestige eyeshadow in Ballet the last few days and I just want to say, I'm completely in love with it! I've mentioned in a previous post that I'm looking for a light pink eyeshadow to brighten my eyes without making me look like I've been crying and Ballet did it for me. What's more, the pigment is so good that Ballet actually shows up as pink on my skin!
Prestige eyeshadow have super good reviews on MUA. I'm a makeup newbie and only started expanding my stash however, like I've said in my previous post, I don't want to have so many that I can't finish them all! Plus I'm an absolute cheapo!
I've notice Prestige Cosmetics for a long time now but their single eyeshadow cost $7.99! I could never bring myself to buy an eyeshadow for that much! So I waited and waited and waited and finally I found some on clearance for $2.99! Unfortunately there was only three in the clearance bin of London Drugs so this was the only color I considered buying.
A laughable thing though, even though it was on clearance I had to think about it for a few days since my Annabelle trio in Rosewood was quite new (from before Dec actually... Yes I consider it new because I haven't even made a dent in it yet!). So imagine to my surprise when I went back and it was still there! Now this wasn't a Cosmo moment. In my mind I was thinking, "Is it still here because this brand sucks?"
In the end I'm glad I did buy the eyeshadow. The eyeshadow is very pigmented and the texture is very fine. It goes on smoothly without much fallouts. It is kind of sheer but that makes it easier to build up and blend out. There's only one thing I don't like, after applying I realized Ballet has a shimmer to it. In the pan it looks matte so I was disappointed about the shimmers. I like matte eyeshadow because shimmery eyeshadow makes me look like I have oily lids in photos.
Overall this eyeshadow is awesome! $3 for 2.2g of product. Pigmented, buildable, smooth, blendable, and long lasting! I will definitely try out their other colors (with the expectation they have shimmers unless other wise stated).
